    Geoengineering definitely did play a role in any flooding of urban areas in Florida. It’s why there’s urban areas in what’s supposed to be a swamp.

      Geoengineering

      I’d point out we’ve been geoengineering the atmosphere relentlessly for over 200 years, first with coal and then oil combustion. We’re living in an age of deliberate geoengineering, our children will have worse quality of life than any of us because of our short sighted and selfish ways.

      It’s not the weather control bullshit these MORONS suspect, they’re literally leading the charge to do it to themselves and can’t be convinced that less pollution would be preferable.

        The first time I heard about the “democratic weather machine” conspiracy I thought it funny. But looking at it again as it spreads I do believe it is a tactic to keep voters while climate change escalates.

        If we get new candidates that run on climate promises we now got a seed set to diffame and more importantly mock them. They can play the victim and point fingers. A long standing and well proven tactic.

          could you imagine the smoking ruin that would be mar-a-lago if libs could control storms? jfc

          As someone with deep attachment to the state, I welcome the reversal of destruction. I just hope people don’t catch on to this can of worms before big damage to infrastructure is done. Burn it all down!

    These people have law degrees, and some of them are partially educated. It’s amazing to me someone could type this up and send it to other people without the embarrassment of looking like a fucking moron stopping them.

      My sister is highly educated, and started her career doing medical research and got in to crime scene investigation. She ultimately left when she discovered the job she wanted working for the FBI was not nearly scientifically rigorous enough and didn’t really hold water scientifically.

      She now sees a psychic, is entirely convinced it’s real, and eats up and parrots every single Republican talking point. Biden too old and dimented, Trump is literally the greatest man alive with decades to live. She even accused our mother of cognitive decline when she didn’t buy the bullshit my sister was spewing. My mother is sharp as a tack and there’s no family history of dementia.

      On top of this, my sister’s idiot husband is was an executive in charge of international sales and literally lost his job because of the orange man. Still, God’s gift to the US in their eyes.

      We don’t talk anymore but I’m curious how they feel now, they also suckled on Musk’s taint.

      Their ideology started with money. They only cared about taxes. Now they agree with anything anyone says as long as they start with lowering their, already generously low, tax rate.

      They know what they’re doing. Their constituents may be stupid enough to believe it, but all those people at the top are completely aware of the grift they’re running.

        A lot of them aren’t aware. They belong to a certain peer group that believes different things and any fact that contradict this is an attack on their identity.

        There by is a simple experiment about this. Ask a very simple math problem about shampoo and everybody gets the answer right. Ask the same math problem but say it’s about gun control and see basic logic twisted into pretzels.

      I followed the #2 link he linked about cloud seeding. From the article:

      Veteran Houston meteorologist Travis Herzog weighed in this week, calling the theory scientifically unfounded.

      “Cloud seeding cannot create a storm of this magnitude or size. In fact, cloud seeding cannot even create a single cloud,” Herzog said. “All it can do is take an existing cloud and enhance the rainfall by up to 20% — and even that is on the high end.”

      He compared the theory to blowing out a candle and assuming one could extinguish a wildfire. “It is a matter of scale,” he said.

      It’s pretty ballsy to provide a link with someone calling out your bullshit while acting as if that link proves your point.

          My mother once handed me the manual to a dishwasher to prove that I was loading mine “wrong.” Turns out I was doing it the way the manual recommended. She had never actually opened said manual.

    The spectacular level of cognitive dissonance required to simultaneously not believe in man-made climate change but also believe in evil scientists changing the weather.

      Also, every commercial passenger flight is a felon. They are an apparatus released into the atmosphere, and affect weather/climate/intensity of sunlight by causing global dimming. Furthermore, they take the atmosphere in through their engines, and run it through a bunch of air conditioners to cool and filter the air for the cabin, expressly for the purpose of affecting the temperature and climate inside the aircraft, and then exhaust it out of the aircraft back into the atmosphere. Checkmate.

    Unaddressed man-made climate change leading to unprecedented volatility and extremes in weather as predicted since the 70s? “Bullshit.”

    A secret cabal of leftists attacking red states (and blue states for… reasons) through advanced undetectable technology (or magic?) that alters the weather creating these extreme events? “Seems reasonable to me.”

    a weather modification company

    An entire company? Conveniently and lawfully registered in Florida?

      That’s right. If they were serious about banning weather modification, internal combustion engines would be illegal in Florida.

    Seems letting large amounts of greenhouse gases into the air is geoengineering, so maybe we could form an Environmental Protection Agency to crack down on places doing this large scale.

    Oh, we’re back on the “free market” bandwagon now?

    injection, release or dispersion of a chemical… for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, weather, climate or intensity of sunlight

    Time to shut down anything with a chimney or diesel engine, we just need to argue those things’ express purpose is to affect the weather and anything done besides that is a happy side effect

        There’s this super dangerous one called H2O, apparently if enough accumulates in the atmosphere it will start to rain!
